Identification and verification are done by passwords, pin number, etc., which are easily cracked by others. In order to, overcome this issue biometrics is a unique tool to authenticate an individual person. Biometric is a quantity which consists of an individual physical characteristics of Fingerprint, Finger Knuckle Print (FKP), Iris, Face and so on. These characteristics are not easily cracked by others. Nevertheless, unimodal biometric suffers due to noise, intra class variations, spoof attacks, non-universality and some other attacks. In order to avoid these attacks, the multimodal biometrics i.e. a combination of more modalities is adapted. They are combined with cryptography, which will give more security for physical characters of biometrics. Bio-crypto system provides the authentication as well as the confidentiality of the data. This paper proposes to improve the security of multimodal systems by generating the biometric key from Fingerprint and FKP biometrics with its feature extraction using K-Means algorithm. The secret value is encrypted with biometric key using Symmetric Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm. This paper also discusses about the integration of Fingerprint
and FKP using package model cryptographic level fusion in order to improve the overall performance of the system. The
encryption process will give more authentication and security for the system. The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function
protects the biometric data from malicious tampering, and also it provides error checking functionality.

Passwords are not only inconvenient for customers; they are also too weak to protect sensitive information. Using SMS for authentication has also been declared unsafe due to its vulnerabilities, and has caused millions in losses. In this video, you will learn about Biometrics, a flexible authentication measure that provides increased security while reducing consumer friction for online and mobile banking.

About this course: This course focuses on how to design and build secure systems with a human-centric focus. We will look at basic principles of human-computer interaction, and apply these insights to the design of secure systems with the goal of developing security measures that respect human performance and their goals within a system.

What better way to ensure security， than using parts of your body as the key.
The market for technology that relies on recognizing parts of the human body to grant access is growing.
Kim Min－ji informs us of the potential of this industry.
You may have seen high－tech tools that scan your eyes or fingerprints in the movies － but the technology， known as biometric authentication， is gradually becoming a part of our daily lives.
This company uses facial recognition to identify workers， allow them into the building， and track their attendance.
It only takes a second to verify and match the person′s face with the stored data.
Not only is it convenient but it′s more secure，... as people′s unique facial features are almost impossible to replicate.
But it′s not just businesses using the tech，... apartment complexes are adopting the system.
″Entering your home is going to get a lot easier. You′ll no longer need keys or even need to press in a pass－code. This facial recognition system not only makes your house more secure，.. it′s also completely hassle－free.″
Biometric authentication is gaining popularity as a new means of identification， replacing the predominant system of numerical or text passwords.
The global market is expected to reach 16－point－7 billion U.S. dollars by 2019，... more than a three－fold increase since 2012.
The growth comes on the back of the rise of fintech or financial technology that requires a high level of security as it becomes easier to make payments.
Technology that can read you eyes has also been developed.
″With iris recognition， users can worry less about their identity being falsely used. Iris is very unique， and even twins have different iris characteristics.″
In just a blink of an eye， a transaction can be made simply by looking into a device.
A local card company is planning to implement this system to make transactions easier.
But like all other previous methods of identification， biometric security features come with risks.
″Strong measures need to be taken to prevent biometric data leaks. If it′s being stored it means it can be leaked. Passwords can be reset， and cards can be reissued if lost but biometric features cannot be changed.″
There are also doubts whether the new authentication systems will become widely used，.. as some people may be uncomfortable having their biometric information saved on a database.
Kim Min－ji， Arirang News.

Biometric authentication is often promoted as the most secure method to access our accounts using our unique individual characteristics. Rather trying to remember a password, we have become the password as new tech devices use fingerprints, facial recognition, eye scans (iris, retina) and even voice recognition.
With the launch of the highly anticipated iPhone X and it's use of facial recognition for users to unlock their smartphone. I found myself asking, just how secure is biometric authentication? I quickly learned that although the authentication method itself is deemed secure, the same old problems could still occur. What if the database leaks and this data becomes compromised?
Debesh Choudhury is an Electro-Optics Engineer and I invited him on to today's podcast to share his insights and expertise.He is a hardcore innovator and researcher with 22+ years of hands-on experience in defense research and information security. But, he has also got 15+ years of experience in teaching electronics and communication engineering in the higher education arena.
Besides having a Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India, he also enjoyed his two years postdoctoral stint at the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan. Debesh was fortunate to have collaborated with celebrated American Scientist late Prof. H. John Caulfield. In 2011, they invented a new direction “Artificial Color Perception using Microwaves.”
Debesh worked on 3D shape sensing and recognition for quite some time. His technique of 3D object recognition has yielded robust technology for 3D human face recognition. He also developed an asymmetric cryptosystem for multimodal biometric security. A part of his research was presented at the 2016 SPIE Defense &amp; Security Conference in Baltimore, USA.
In his 2016 research paper, Debesh already demonstrated how privacy protection of biometrics can be achieved by multimodal biometric encryption. Privacy protection of biometric data of the citizens is a deep concern because leakage of the biometric database can cause serious damage.
The recent Equifax data breach of 2017 and earlier Yahoo security breach of 2016 have incited Debesh to give his hands to improve data security and privacy. Debesh is now vowed to channelize his expertise in privacy protection of biometrics for solving the data security problems.
Have you ever stopped to consider the implications of what would happen if&nbsp;biometric and other personal data was compromised and became accessible online? If you hadn't, maybe today's podcast will make you think a little more cautiously about biometric security.

In the field of biometrics where a person is identified by his biological characteristics, research and development has progressed in fingerprint authentication. With many solutions distributed in the market now, price is getting only lower. Fingerprint Access from System Advance was designed to secure medical data on patients in the field of medical support system development. It has been commercialized, as many organizations praise its capability to allow important data in a PC to be managed in a different media. Fingerprint authentication is hard to counterfeit and decipher; it offers higher security than the password input method that is widely used today; and there would be many business applications based on it. Fingerprint Access is offered in flash memory and hard drive formats; the hard drive type retails for about 30,000 yen.

Concerns on widespread use of biometric authentication systems are primarily centered around template security, revocability, and privacy. The use of cryptographic primitives to bolster the authentication process can alleviate some of these concerns as shown by biometric cryptosystems. In this paper, we propose a provably secure and blind biometric authentication protocol, which addresses the concerns of user’s privacy, template protection, and trust issues. The protocol is blind in the sense that it reveals only the identity, and no additional information about the user or the biometric to the authenticating server or vice-versa. As the protocol is based on asymmetric encryption of the biometric data, it captures the advantages of biometric authentication as well as the security of public key cryptography. The authentication protocol can run over public networks and provide nonrefundable identity verification. The encryption also provides template protection, the ability to revoke enrolled templates, and alleviates the concerns on privacy in widespread use of biometrics. The proposed approach makes no restrictive assumptions on the biometric data and is hence applicable to multiple biometrics. Such a protocol has significant advantages over existing biometric cryptosystems, which use a biometric to secure a secret key, which in turn is used for authentication. We analyze the security of the protocol under various attack scenarios. Experimental results on four biometric datasets (face, iris, hand geometry, and fingerprint) show that carrying out the authentication in the encrypted domain does not affect the accuracy, while the encryption key acts as an additional layer of security.

George Avetisov is the CEO and co-founder of HYPR – a top innovator in the growing biometric authentication sector.
Though adopted by the automobile industry to reduce the number of vehicle thefts, keyless ignitions and entry systems are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Similarly, the convenience of having connected cars features/apps available via smartphones can open the door for hackers to gain control of breaks, locks, dashboards and more. George can provide detailed insights on:
The particular vulnerabilities of auto biometrics
How the industry will be implementing biometric security measures such as facial/selfie, iris, fingerprint and voice recognition to authenticate vehicle ownership
How to avoid future data breaches

In this digital era, digital documents are widely used. The merits of digital documents are huge while its security and privacy are at large. Hence Cryptography is used to secure digital documents. Cryptography is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. In this paper a novel idea is proposed, digital documents are encrypted using 256 bit cryptographic key which is generated by multimodal biometric system. This system uses Palmprint and Fingerprint as traits. The features of both traits were extracted and fused at feature level. This biometric based cryptographic key is unpredictable to an intruder as the intruder lacks the knowledge of physical traits of the user. By this proposed model confidentiality, integrity, availability mechanisms are achieved. This biometric based cryptographic security can be integrated to e-governance and ehealth for efficient management.

This paper discusses a biometric encryption system using fuzzy vault scheme implemented on FPGA development board. Cryptographic algorithms are very secure overall but have a weak point in terms of the storage of the crypto keys.Biometric authentication systems have many exploitable weak points that can be used to compromise the system. Biometric encryption is a security scheme that combines strong cryptographic algorithms with biometric authentication to provide better security. This paper discusses a simple implementation of a biometric encryption system as a stand-alone embedded device. Fuzzy vault scheme is used as the method to bind the crypto key and biometrics. The system processes were implemented as software blocks run on the firmware.

This clip is part of the elementary course on Information, Computing & Communication (ICC) of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. It explains how biometrics and hardware tokens and devices can be used to provide two-factor, two-channel, and two-way authentication.

Facilities.
Facilities for business continuity may include alternate workspace equipped for continuation of business operations. Alternate facilities may be owned or contracted including office space, data center, manufacturing and distribution.
Systems.
Systems for emergency response may include detection, alarm, warning, communications, suppression and pollution control systems. Protection of critical equipment within a data center may include sensors monitoring heat, humidity and attempts to penetrate computer firewalls.
Every building has exit routes so people can evacuate if there is a hazard within the building. These exit routes should be designed and maintained in accordance with applicable regulations.

Business continuity resources may include spare or redundant systems that serve as a backup in case primary systems fail. Systems for crisis communications may include existing voice and data technology for communicating with customers, employees and others.
Equipment.
Equipment includes the means for teams to communicate. Radios, smartphones, wired telephone and pagers may be required to alert team members to respond, to notify public agencies or contractors and to communicate with other team members to manage an incident.
Many tools may be required to prepare a facility for a forecast event such as a hurricane, flooding or severe winter storm.
Materials and Supplies.
Materials and supplies are needed to support members of emergency response, business continuity and crisis communications teams. Food and water are basic provisions.
Systems and equipment needed to support the preparedness program require fuel. Emergency generators and diesel engine driven fire pumps should have a fuel supply that meets national standards or local regulatory requirements. That means not allowing the fuel supply to run low because replenishment may not be possible during an emergency. Spare batteries for portable radios and chargers for smartphones and other communications devices should be available.
